Summary :
France Télévisions Novel Prize 2003
A villa on an island at the height of summer. One day, a stranger appears, his name is Boris. He's come to visit Philip, his old high school friend. Only Philip isn't there. He won't arrive until tomorrow, or the day after at worst, no one knows. Courteous, wise, and self-assured, Boris settles in. Quickly. Very quickly. He even blends in so well with the decor that he quickly proves to be the perfect guest, the distracting element. Delighted, charmed, and even unwittingly manipulated, everyone is drawn in by his terrible power of seduction. Only André-Pierre has decided to be wary. He doesn't like this kind of guy, beachy and tanned. And besides, why isn't Philip coming? For him, everything fuels worry, even this stubborn heatwave, which heats up bodies before minds. It has never been so hot, the sea has never seemed so desirable and high, right there, at the bottom of the steps, where Philip will arrive. Patiently, Joncour assembles his pieces, controls the volume of the shouts and the sudden bursts of calm. Highsmith prowls nearby. Chabrol laughs in the garden opposite.
